Three sales, excellent results, and genuinely a great agent to work with!

We’ve now used George for the sale of three of our homes, and each time he has been fantastic to work with. He is honest, transparent and always keeps us informed with clear, timely communication. We’ve always felt like we were working in partnership and that George genuinely cared about representing our home well. He works hard, is easy to deal with and has achieved excellent results for us every time, including a suburb record on one of them. We would absolutely engage him as our agent again!

Integrity and Knowledge

After negotiating the sale of my property I have nothing but praise for George Rafty and his professional team at First National Newcastle. I'm sure the purchaser would mimic my sentiment. George has incredible industry knowledge and is most professional. His conduct and integrity struck a chord with me and gave me confidence. I readily endorse George to any prospective seller. His initial appraisal was spot on and his assessment of the market extremely accurate. Thanks again!!

George is an Agent with Integrity.

George goes above & beyond to help with a Smooth & Efficient Sale. This has not only happened with my very recent purchase, but also when my Mother bought from George a few yrs ago & helped her get the House she loved too. It's obvious why he has such a good Professional Reputation.
